TO 



MR. MORRIS K. JESUP, 

PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, 

WHOSE EARNEST INTEREST IN THE EVANGELIZATION OF THE 
MASSES OF THIS GREAT CITY HAS MADE HIS 
N VME A HOUSEHOLD WORD AMONG 
CHRISTIAN WORKERS. 

THIS LITTLE COMPILATION 



AFFECTIONATELY INSCRIBED. 



PREFACE. 



HIS MANUAL is the result of a felt need for a 



series of Responsive Exercises suitable for the 
children's Church Service, which is held each Sunday 
afternoon. 

All the arrangements of Scripture reading which the 
compiler has seen have been designed for a congregation 
to read and most of the selections are composed of verses 
or parts of verses which are too long for children to com- 
mit easily to memory. As the children of the House of 
Industry are taught to memorize the responses, it was 
felt that the " Truth as it is in Jesus " ought to be made 
so terse that the children would have no difficulty in 
learning it easily, and yet in "the very word of Script- 
ure." It has also been arranged with the idea of pre- 
senting the cardinal doctrines of the religion we profess. 

Some of the arrangements are original, the most are 
gathered from various sources, but all the selected ones 
have been altered in some respect in order to conform to 
the main idea of brevity of response. 

That some seed of truth may be sown by the use of 
this little Manual is the earnest prayer of the 




COMPILER. 



Five Points House of Industry, 
Neiv York, Jan. 1885. 



ORDER OF SERVICE. 



LHE children will march to their seats in 



7*- the Chapel, singing a suitable processional 
hymn. 

They will stand opposite the chairs facing the 
centre of the gallery, when a chord on the organ 
will be the signal for all to face the platform and 
the Service will be begun by singing : 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow, 
Praise Him all creatures here below, 
Praise Him above ye heavenly host, 
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. 

At the close of the Doxology, one chord on 
the organ will be the signal for the children to 
clasp their hands and bow their heads, when the 
Superintendent will say, "I believe," and all 
will repeat : 

I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of 
Heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son, 
our Lord. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born 
of the Virgin Mary ; suffered under Pontius Pilate ; was

crucified, dead and buried ; He descended into hell ; the 
third day He rose from the dead, He ascended into 
Heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father 
Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick 
and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy 
Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgive- 
ness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life 
everlasting. Amen. 

At the close of the recitation of the Creed, two 
chords on the organ will be the signal for un- 
clasping hands, lifting heads, and taking seats. 
Then will be sung two* hymns, after which two 
chords on the organ will be given for the child- 
ren to rise, bow heads, clasp hands, and either 
say or sing the Lord' s Prayer. 

The prayer ended, two chords on the organ 
will indicate the resumption of seats. Two more 
hymns will follow, and then the Superintendent 
will call for the recitation of the text of the Sun- 
day-School lesson. This will be repeated either 
by all the children in concert, or by the girls 
saying one verse and the boys the next, or else 
by boys and girls alternating singly. A hymn 
will be sung, after which one of the selections of 
this Manual will be used for reading and respon- 
sive recitation. 

Another hymn will be sung when the Supt. 
will say, "And God spake all these words."

Then, boys and girls alternating, the Command- 
ments will be recited, while, after each, the 
children will sing a response : 

I. And God spake all these words, saying, I am the 
Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land 
of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt 
have no other Gods before nie. 

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, 
or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or 
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water un- 
der the earth : thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, 
nor serve them : for I the Lord thy God, am a jealous 
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the child- 
ren unto the third and fourth generation of them that 
hate me ; and showing mercy unto thousands of them 
that love me and keep my commandments. 

III. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy 
God in vain : for the Lord will not hold him guiltless 
that taketh His name in vain. 

IV. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 
Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work : but the 
seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God : in it 
thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy 
daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor 
thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates : for 

■ in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and 
all that in them is, and rested the seventh day : where- 
fore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. 

V. Honour thy father and thy mother : that thy days 
may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God 
giveth thee. 

VI. Thou shalt not kill.

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery. 

VIII. Thou shalt not steal. 

IX. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy 
neighbor. 

X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou 
shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, 
nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any- 
thing that is thy neighbor's. 

Supt. — The great Commandment in the law is, 

Children sing. — Thou shalt love the Lord thy 
God with all thy heart, and with all soul, and 
with all thy mind. 

Supt. — This is the lirst and great Command- 
ment, and the second is like unto it, 

Children sing. — Thou shalt love thy neighbor 
as thyself. 

Supt.— The Golden Rule '( 

Children sing. — All things whatsoever ye 
would that men should do unto you, do ye even 
so to them. 

Supt. — The New Commandment % 

Children sing. — Christ said, U A new com- 
mandment I give unto you, That ye love one 
another as I have loved you." 

Supt. — We love Him because he first loved us. 

Children sing. — And this new commandment 
have we from Him, "That he who loveth God, 
love his brother also."

Supt. — My little children let us not love in 
word, neither in tongue, but in deed and in 
truth. 

Children sing. — The fruit of the Spirit is love, 
joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, 
faith, meekness, temperance. 

Here the children will rise without signal. 

Supt. — Now unto the King eternal, immortal, 
invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory, 
for ever and ever. Amen. 

Children will here sing the Gloria Patri. 

Two hymns will be sung and then two chords 
on the organ will be the signal for prayer and the 
Superintendent will lead in supplication. 

At the sound of one chord on the organ, the 
children will raise their heads, and sing some 
appropriate short selection, at the close of which 
the organist will give the signal for seats to be 
taken. * 

If there are to be any addresses, they may be 
introduced at this point, if not then the remain- 
ing hymns on the usual program may be sung. 
Before the last hymn of the service is sung, a 
collection will be taken, after which the children 
will leave the Chapel in line, singing a recessional 
hymn.

G. Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me more than these ? 
8. He saith unto Him, Yea, Lord ; Thou knowest that I 

love Thee. 
G He saith unto him, Feed My lambs. 
8. My little children, these things write I unto you, 
G. That ye sin not.

G. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings Thou hast 

perfected praise ? 
8. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, 
G. And the leopard shall lie down with the kid ; 
8. And the calf, and the young lion, and the fatling 

together ; 
G. And a little child shall lead them. 
S. And the cow and the bear shall feed ; 
G. Their young ones shall lie down together : 
8. And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 
G. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the 

asp, 

S. And the weaned child shall put his hand on the 

cockatrice's den. 
G. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy 

mountain. 

8. And now, little children, abide in Him ; 
G. That, when He shall appear, 
8. We may have confidence, 

G. And not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
